<p><strong>The US Supreme Court not only decided not to look at the Brunson brothers’ case, but also decided not to take up the Bonner case challenging the legality of mail-in ballots. </strong></p>
<p>Such a shame. The US Supreme Court is absolutely frightened to take up strong cases that challenge corrupt elections or corrupt practices. Yet this is the biggest issue facing our country right now and the biggest threat to our Constitution.</p>

<p><strong>The US Supreme Court not only decided not to look at the Brunson brothers’ case, but also decided not to take up the Bonner case challenging the legality of mail-in ballots. </strong></p>
<p>Such a shame. The US Supreme Court is absolutely frightened to take up strong cases that challenge corrupt elections or corrupt practices. Yet this is the biggest issue facing our country right now and the biggest threat to our Constitution.</p>
<p><strong>Corrupt elections breed corrupt politicians which bread corrupt government officials which breed corrupt media and social media companies and so on…</strong></p>
<p>In 2020, 18 state AGs joined the Texas case that argued against the corrupt election results that were certified in the swing states that stole the election for Joe Biden. It was a solid case. This corruption affected us all and still does to this day. We all were impacted. But the three Trump judges decided not to hear the case along with the corrupt Obama, far-left and insane judges on the court. INSANITY.</p>
<p><span>The Supreme Court also refused to hear the cases from the Trump campaign against the states where material amounts of corruption existed.</span></p>

<h4>From<span> </span><a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/dec/11/supreme-court-rejects-texas-election-challenge/">WWW.WASHINGTONTIMES.COM</a></h4>
<div><p>The<span> </span><a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/supreme-court/">Supreme Court</a><span> </span>announced Friday it won’t hear a lawsuit by the state of Texas that sought to overturn Democrat<span> </span><a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/joseph-r-biden/">Joseph R. Biden</a>’s victories in four swing states, dealing a massive blow to President<span> </span><a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/donald-trump/">Trump</a>’s nearly extinguished prospects for a second term.</p>
<p>The<span> </span><a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/supreme-court/">high court</a><span> </span>said in a brief order that Texas “has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections.”</p>
<p>“All other pending motions are dismissed as moot,” the<span> </span><a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/supreme-court/">court</a><span> </span>said.</p>
<p>The decision came despite the president imploring the justices publicly to “save” the nation from a Biden presidency. Mr.<span> </span><a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/donald-trump/">Trump</a><span> </span>had called the case “the big one,” elevating it in importance above all the other legal challenges filed by his campaign team in six states.</p>
<p>Conservative Justices Samuel A. Alito Jr. and Clarence Thomas said they believed the<span> </span><a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/supreme-court/">court</a><span> </span>was required to hear the case. But they said they “would not grant other relief.” It would have taken four justices to agree to hear the complaint.</p>
<p>Supporters of the president had hoped that Mr.<span> </span><a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/donald-trump/">Trump</a>’s three appointees to the<span> </span><a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/supreme-court/">Court</a><span> </span>— Justices Neil M. Gorsuch, Brett M. Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett — might come to his aid. But legal analysts in both parties said from the start that the case was a legal “Hail Mary.”</p>
<p>Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican, had asked the<span> </span><a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/supreme-court/">Supreme Court</a><span> </span>to invalidate Mr.<span> </span><a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/joseph-r-biden/">Biden</a>’s wins in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. He argued that those states illegally expanded their mail-in balloting without the approval of their elected legislatures.</p>
<p>A total of 126 House Republicans and 18 other Republican-led states joined Texas in asking the<span> </span><a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/supreme-court/">high court</a><span> </span>to reverse Mr.<span> </span><a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/joseph-r-biden/">Biden</a>’s wins in the swing states. But GOP senators largely either stayed out of the case or criticized Texas’ move.</p>
<p>Sen. Ben Sasse, Nebraska Republican, praised the<span> </span><a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/supreme-court/">Supreme Court</a>’s decision.</p>

<p>“Since Election Night, a lot of people have been confusing voters by spinning Kenyan Birther-type, ‘Chavez rigged the election from the grave’ conspiracy theories, but every American who cares about the rule of law should take comfort that the<span> </span><a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/supreme-court/">Supreme Court</a><span> </span>— including all three of President<span> </span><a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/donald-trump/">Trump</a>’s picks — closed the book on the nonsense,” Mr. Sasse said.</p>
<p>The four battleground states had urged the<span> </span><a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/supreme-court/">court</a><span> </span>not to hear the case, saying Texas didn’t suffer an injury sufficient for bringing the court action. Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, called Texas’ move “seditious” and “bogus.”</p>
<p>The president urged the high court publicly several times on Friday to rule in his favor.</p>
<p>“If the<span> </span><a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/supreme-court/">Supreme Court</a><span> </span>shows great Wisdom and Courage, the American People will win perhaps the most important case in history, and our Electoral Process will be respected again!” Mr.<span> </span><a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/donald-trump/">Trump</a>tweeted.</p>
<p>The president also dangled a promise to the justices — on the presumption that he would gain a second term — that he won’t allow Democrats in Congress to “pack” the<span> </span><a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/supreme-court/">high court</a><span> </span>if they win the Senate majority in two runoff elections in Georgia next month.</p>
<p>“If the two [Republican] Senators from Georgia should lose, which would be a horrible thing for our Country, I am the only thing that stands between ‘Packing the<span> </span><a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/supreme-court/">Court</a>‘ (last number heard, 25), and preserving it,” Mr.<span> </span><a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/donald-trump/">Trump</a><span> </span>tweeted. “I will not, under any circumstances, Pack the<span> </span><a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/supreme-court/">Court</a>!”</p>
<p>The<span> </span><a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/supreme-court/">high court</a>’s action came ahead of Monday’s vote in the Electoral College. Under federal law, members of the Electoral College will meet in all 50 state capitals to cast their votes for president, one of the final steps in certifying Mr.<span> </span><a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/joseph-r-biden/">Biden</a>’s win.</p>
<p>Texas Republican Party Chairman Allen West suggested secession might be the answer for pro-Trump states.</p>
<p>“Perhaps law-abiding states should bond together and form a Union of states that will abide by the Constitution,” Mr. West said.</p>
<p>He said the Court’s decision means that states “can violate the U.S. Constitution and not be held accountable.”</p>
<p>“This decision will have far-reaching ramifications for the future of our constitutional republic,” Mr. West said.</p>

<p>The Republican-led Senate on Friday gave Donald Trump the biggest triumph of his young presidency, confirming his Supreme Court nominee over stout Democratic opposition and restoring a conservative majority on the highest U.S. judicial body.</p>
<p>The Senate, which last year refused to consider Democratic former President Barack Obama's nominee to the court, voted 54-45 to approve Republican Trump's pick, Colorado-based federal appeals court judge Neil Gorsuch, to the lifetime job. Three Democrats joined the Republicans in voting for Gorsuch.</p>
<p>Gorsuch's confirmation ends the longest Supreme Court vacancy since 1862 during the American Civil War, with the court down a justice for almost 14 months since long-serving conservative Justice Antonin Scalia died on Feb. 13, 2016.</p>

<p> The <a href="http://www.allgov.com/departments/judicial-branch/united-states-supreme-court?agencyid=7232" target="_blank">Supreme Court</a>’s top justice and two associate justices have repeatedly ruled in cases involving companies in which they owned stock, according to a court watchdog group.</p>
<p>The organization <a href="http://fixthecourt.com/" target="_blank">Fix the Court</a> says in a <a href="http://fixthecourt.com/files/2015/05/Fix-the-Court-amicus-report-FINAL-5.28.15.pdf" target="_blank">report</a> (pdf) that Chief Justice <a href="http://www.allgov.com/officials/roberts-john?officialid=28505" target="_blank">John Roberts</a> and Associate Justices Stephen Breyer and Samuel Alito have created potential conflicts of interest by participating in decisions that potentially affected their stock portfolio.</p>
<p>Fix the Court reviewed cases heard by the court between 2009 and 2013, and focused on 19 cases in which the three justices owned stock in companies that filed “friend of the court” or amicus curiae briefs. The report says that, in those cases, 68% of the time Roberts, Breyer and Alito sided with the companies in which they owned stock.</p>
<p>The other six justices were omitted from the study because they don’t own a significant amount of common stock in individual companies.</p>
<p>The 19 conflict-of-interest cases involved such matters as mandatory arbitration, affirmative action, and corporate immunity for international law violations.</p>
<p>Examples provided by Fix the Court include three class-action cases, <a href="http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/10pdf/10-277.pdf" target="_blank">Wal-Mart v. Dukes</a> (pdf), <a href="http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/10pdf/09-893.pdf" target="_blank">AT&T v. Concepcion</a> (pdf), and <a href="http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/12pdf/11-864_k537.pdf" target="_blank">Comcast v. Behrend</a> (pdf), in which Roberts owned up to $100,000 in shares of <a href="http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/homepage.html" target="_blank">Intel</a> (which filed a brief in support of <a href="http://corporate.comcast.com/" target="_blank">Comcast</a>); up to $100,000 in shares of <a href="http://www.dell.com/" target="_blank">Dell</a> (which supported<a href="http://www.att.com/" target="_blank">AT&T</a>) and up to $400,000 combined in shares of Intel, <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/" target="_blank">Microsoft</a> and <a href="http://www.hp.com/country/us/en/uc/welcome.html" target="_blank">Hewlett-Packard</a> (which filed for <a href="http://www.walmart.com/" target="_blank">Wal-Mart</a>).</p>
<p>In another case, <a href="http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/12pdf/10-1491_l6gn.pdf" target="_blank">Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum</a> (pdf), Breyer and Alito sided with the defendant, which was supported by <a href="http://www.ibm.com/us/en/" target="_blank">IBM</a> (Breyer owned up to $50,000 in shares) and by <a href="http://www.cat.com/" target="_blank">Caterpillar</a>, <a href="http://www.chevron.com/" target="_blank">Chevron</a>,<a href="http://www.conocophillips.com/Pages/default.aspx" target="_blank">ConocoPhillips</a>, IBM and <a href="http://www.pg.com/en_US/index.shtml" target="_blank">Proctor & Gamble</a> (Alito owned as much as $280,000 in these companies).</p>
<p>Not once did any of the justices recuse himself from a case due to an amicus-related conflict of interest, according to Fix the Court.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">On July 6, 1775, the Founders of the United States of America set forth the original Declaration of Causes. The American Colonists had previously made overtures to King George and the Parliament of England about various transgressions against the American Colonies. When those overtures failed to resolve the conflict, the American Colonists made one last attempt at peaceful remedy. Their Declaration of Causes was meant to document their final Petition for Redress of Grievances, fulfilling the requirement of Natural Law's Social Contract that all peaceful remedies be exhausted before alternative remedies be contemplated and/or implemented.</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">The first draft of said Declaration of Causes was penned by John Rutledge. (No copies of his draft survive). Thomas Jefferson then penned a second draft, which was challenged by John Dickinson. The final draft was penned by John Dickinson, keeping some or much of Jefferson's draft. The rest, as they say, is history. Nearly a year later, the American Colonists cast off the chains of tyranny on July 4, 1776. Yet, as was forewarned by America’s Founders, a group of people have once again attempted to exercise absolute power and dominion over WE THE PEOPLE.</font></font></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">WE THE PEOPLE assert our elected officials and Government are carrying out the agenda of their moneyed benefactors. An agenda whose objective is to reduce the condition of WE THE PEOPLE to one of absolute Despotism. As such, our Government officials and their moneyed benefactors have blurred the lines between themselves and became a “Tyrant Class”. A Tyrant Class that is violating our Social Contract, each of our Individual Unalienable Natural Rights, our Declaration of Independence, our Constitution and our Bill of Rights, by working to forge a relationship between business and government that decreases or eliminates competition, and reduces WE THE PEOPLE to a state of absolute Despotism, in a manner similar to Fascism and/or Integral Nationalism(anti-individualism and pro-Statism). The individuals comprising this Tyrant Class are the current Oppressors of WE THE PEOPLE.</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">Yet, though this “Tyrant Class” consisting of government officials and moneyed private citizens and corporations is working together to advance this agenda of Injustice and Treason, <u>it is only our government officials who take oaths to represent WE THE PEOPLE, to preserve our rights, to uphold the Constitution, and advance the best interests of the WE THE PEOPLE</u>. Therefore, at the present time we address this Second Declaration of Causes to our Government and our Government's elected and unelected bureaucratic officials and civil servants (hereafter collectively referred to as “Government”); <u>For it is they whom WE THE PEOPLE presently have the best leverage, legal basis and Natural Right to hold accountable for violating their oaths of office</u> and using their offices to instead, advance the oppression of WE THE PEOPLE. In other words, our Government officials are most accountable by reason of the consequences of the punishments upon conviction for TREASON.</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">To continue, WE THE PEOPLE observe that the Tyrant Class and our present oppressor Government have learned a great deal from the experiences and mistakes of King George and the Parliament of England. King George and the English Parliament were predisposed to arrogance and too often unilaterally commanded abrupt, overt changes in policy with little concern and/or regard for the reactions of the masses, often relying upon open displays of force and violence to force compliance. This style and manner of governance caused the colonists to be alert for policy changes adversely affecting them. Alertness that could quickly escalate to concern, alarm and calls for action. And, these calls for action could and often would rise to the level of heated, even violent resistance. Indeed, to actual Revolution. Our current Oppressor Government and Tyrant Class also learned from King George's loss to the American Colonists that the traditional strategy of the use of violence to retain power was vulnerable in the face of new ideas tending to invigorate the masses to revolt. (We will discuss later who our current Oppressor Government and the Tyrant Class later learned from the experiences and mistakes of the Marxists, and evolved new strategies to avoid those same mistakes)</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">Aware of the shortcomings of these methods, our present oppressor government has adopted new calculated, incremental, duplicitous and often covert methods which minimize awareness and/or adverse reactions of WE THE PEOPLE. This methodology reduces the chances of widespread organized concern, alarm and/or calls to action which may result in heated and/or violent resistance from WE THE PEOPLE. These incremental changes can and have taken place over years, decades,</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">generations and even a Century or more. These incremental changes are coldly calculated to implement adverse policy changes slowly enough over time to avoid raising tensions to that critical level that may lead to resistance, revolt and/or outright revolution. (A method utilizing the “Frogs in a Pot” analogy.) In this way, older generations with knowledge of “the way things used to be”, eventually die off before the full nature and effect of adverse policy changes are implemented and/or recognizable. Younger generations never know things were ever “another way”. Our Government augments its incremental implementation of policy changes with new propaganda and conditioning techniques made possible by advances in psychology and other sciences.</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">And this puts WE THE PEOPLE at a distinct disadvantage relative to the circumstances of our Founders. The Founders clashes with the English Crown leading up to their Declaration of Causes were eventful, noteworthy, well publicized and occurred over a shorter period of time. The majority of the American Colonists inherently understood the basis of the Founder's Declaration of Causes. The majority of the American Colonists were simultaneously moved to alarm and action without much need for further explanation. In our present instance, our oppressors' very calculated and incremental methodology has resulted in our resistance to their trespasses being a series of far less spectacular confrontations attended by far fewer citizens over a much longer period of time with little or no coverage by our seemingly complicit Main Stream Media. Ergo, the vast majority of our fellow citizens are unaware, unsure and/or confused about what, if anything, untoward is transpiring at the direction of our Government and the Tyrant Class. For these and the following reasons, this Second Declaration of Causes will necessarily be substantially longer than the American Colonists' “first” Declaration of Causes:</font></font></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">WE THE PEOPLE have mentioned that our Government and Tyrant Class have learned from errors of King George and the Parliament of England. WE THE PEOPLE assert that our present oppressor government and the Tyrant Class have been working to resurrect the former wealth, power, control and influence of Kings for themselves. Amongst our oppressor Government's first moves has been to remove, skew and/or downplay the Foundational elements of our Representative, Constitutionally Limited Republic from the populace. Our oppressor Government and the Tyrant Class deem those already possession of the knowledge, vision, attitude, “Perspective of Reality” and metaphysical context of the Founders of our Republic as hopelessly “contaminated”. Yet, under our current laws and level of “contamination”, there is little or nothing our Government and the Tyrant Class can do to erase what they wrongfully term “contaminating” knowledge from those already “contaminated” with it.</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">This “contaminating” knowledge poses a huge problem for the intent and design of our oppressor government and the Tyrant Class. This retained knowledge causes older generations of Americans to be naturally and innately alarmed and prepared to hear a call to action when they sense an encroachment of their liberty. An encroachment of our liberties we have already have seen and experienced. Let's take this opportunity to briefly depart from our “enlightening” discussion to remind our oppressors of the magnitude of the problem this “contaminating” knowledge represents to them. Armed with our awareness of their trespass,s and the knowledge and attitude of our Founders; Our Oppressors are, once again, hereby warned; “No matter how slowly, and/or stealthily, you try to enslave us, infringe upon our Unalienable Natural Rights and/or otherwise violate the Social Contract, our Declaration of Independence, our Constitution and our Bill of Rights, it is still TREASON, subject to all the punishments and retributions pursuant to American Law and Natural Law, applicable therein!”</font></font></p>

We find it prudent and necessary to identify, and take remedial action to address some of the effects of our Government's calculated and incremental methods. WE THE PEOPLE have identified our Government's preferred method to remove what they term the “contamination” of the Founders' knowledge from the Public Sphere <a href="http://t.co/22u1aKV0ee">http://t.co/22u1aKV0ee</a>. That method is to prevent (or “spin”) the knowledge, vision, attitude, Perspective of Reality and metaphysical context of the Founders from being instilled in our youth in our Public Schools. And then, to simply smugly wait for the older generations of Americans to die, simultaneously removing what our oppressors deem our/the “contaminating” influence of the Founders from the collective Public Sphere.</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">To our consternation, our Government has been very successful at removing the knowledge, vision, attitude, Perspective of Reality and the metaphysical context of the Founders from the American Public Sphere. Not only have Public Schools not been emphasizing the foundational elements of America's Founding to our youth, Education Programs such as Common Core, STEM and AVID, have also been conditioning “rugged individualism” and “creativity” out of our youth and indoctrinating them to become passive “sheople” who want to “conform”. The majority of our most recently matriculated generations of Americans (By our estimate, those 35 and under) lack the knowledge, vision, attitude, Perspective of Reality and metaphysical context necessary to recognize and understand our current Causes and the reasons for our Alarm. (Those of you under 35, the blame for this circumstance does not rest upon you, it rests squarely on us older Americans who failed to hold our public schools accountable. However, so informed it falls upon you to “inform” yourselves.)</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">Our oppressor Government has further advanced its goal of removing the “contaminating knowledge and attitude” of the Founder's from the Public Sphere with recent, almost unchecked immigration. Quite simply, if immigrants have never known freedom and liberty, they are not likely notice it when the government takes it away. Further, many of the governments in the native countries of these immigrants use far harsher methods to condition their subjects to be passive and conform. Much harsher than our current Constitution, Bill of Rights, and the still remaining level of “contaminating knowledge and attitude of the Founders” in the Public Sphere, will allow in America.</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">As we already mentioned, those of us aware of our Government's increasing oppression, and who would resist it, find ourselves at great disadvantage relative to the Founders. The majority of the public in our Founder's time shared their knowledge, vision, attitude, Perspective of Reality and metaphysical context. Ergo, those Americans aware of our Government's present trespassed do not enjoy the advantages our Founders did, in a innate and spontaneous public awareness of, and reaction to, the nature of their Causes, concerns and alarm.</font></font></p>

Popular discussions about the causes of the First American Revolution revolve around simple, straightforward issues like unfair taxes, lack of representation, other economic injustices, the Intolerable and Declaratory Acts, and the use of Admiralty Courts along with general lack of Due Process. In reality, the American Revolution can best be summed up as a metaphysical revolution against metaphysics of the Governance Doctrine known as the “Divine Right of Kings”. What follows is a summary of the aspects of the “Divine Right of Kings” most relevant to our Declaration of Causes:</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">The Governance Doctrine of the “Divine Right of Kings” asserts that the King/Queen/Head of State (hereafter “King”) was a God or the representative of God here on earth. As such, no earthly-being had the right to challenge the King’s authority or decisions (As the King alleged himself to be a God or divinely inspired).</font></font></p>

No person could be on the King's land without the King’s permission. Subjects could be required to quarter the King's soldiers. No person on the King’s land had any rights. Instead they only had permissions and privileges, which could be revoked by the King for any reason. Disloyalty and criticizing the King/Aristocracy were very effectively stifled with the threat of revocation of your permissions and privileges weighing in the balance. What Free Speech? People in this circumstance are Subjects, not Citizens.</font></font></p>

Instead of the “Rule of Law” <a href="http://t.co/f6bNrP63Zj">http://t.co/f6bNrP63Zj</a>, Justice most often occurred in the fashion of the “Rule of Man” <a href="http://bit.ly/1EPjPkK">http://bit.ly/1EPjPkK</a>.

While the tradition of the class system kept most subjects “in their place”, the Church and its dogma commanded loyalty to the King by all subjects. Opposing, criticizing and/or disagreeing with the King was not just treason; it was heresy subject to eternal damnation.</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">More extreme Conditioning (Reward and Punishment for “proper” behavior) such as seizure of property, exile, imprisonment, banishment, use of force and gruesome punishment completed the subjugation of the King’s subjects. The mildest criticism of the Kings and even the most reasoned departure from church dogma could result in extreme punishment. For example, the utterance of the belief that the earth was not the center of the universe resulted in more than one person being burned at the stake and/or other similarly horrific punishments.</font></font></p>

Hobbes</span></font></font></font></span></font><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">, attempted to rationalize and justify the Rule by Kings with a Governance Doctrine of “Divine Right of Kings”. Hobbes posited that Man in the Natural State is not a social animal and is in a constant state of war. Therefore, society could not exist but by the power of the State. According to Hobbes, the Purpose of Government is to impose law and order by repressing the Natural State of war amongst Individuals. In this way, government advanced the best interests of the community. Necessarily, any consideration of the interests of the individual were subordinate to the will of Government, which the King purported to be “the best interests of the community”. And, Hobbes promoted the ideas the King was not accountable to the masses because of his alleged relationship with Divinity. This essentially is the metaphysical context for the Divine Right of Kings. Not surprisingly, many Kings adopted and used Hobbes' “Divine Right of Kings” as justification for their rule. However, as we have pointed out, Hobbes' attempt at his metaphysical explanation was written centuries after the fact. The reality was that the best interests of the Community always were, and/or soon defaulted to, being the same as the best interests of the King, his aristocrats and his moneyed friends.</font></font></font></font></p>

And subjects were literally slaves (Manorial Feudalism <font color="#000080"><span xml:lang="zxx" lang="zxx"><u><a href="http://bit.ly/1zhTioq">http://bit.ly/1zhTioq</a></u></span></font>), or nearly slaves, to the King. Even England's Magna Carta of 1215AD, merely said the King still had, but would not exercise some of his rights and powers over certain subjects, namely aristocrats and the very small number of freemen residing in the country. The Magna Carta did not address the rights of the common folks (subjects) comprising the masses. The vast majority of the King's English subjects remained in the state of actual or virtual enslavement that had previously existed before the Magna Carta.</font></font></p>

Further recall, the famous example of Galileo (1564-1642)being forced to recant his observations to avoid a far harsher fate. Instead Galileo was punished with in-house arrest for almost the last decade of his life? This for noting his observations of the physical world did not comport with the Church’s position that the earth was the center of the universe. These examples are provided to evidence the risk and difficulty the individual encountered in challenging the prevailing metaphysical context of the time, as reflected in the King's (state) and church's “Established Truths”;</font></font></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">Out of the Renaissance was born the “Age of Reason” aka “The Enlightenment”(circa 1650-1800). It was during The Enlightenment that the fundamental reasons for the American Revolution began developing. During The Enlightenment, the masses began applying their own reasoning to their observations of the world and questioning why things were the way things were. The King's subjects, among them the Men of Letters/Philosophes <a href="http://bit.ly/1JCcia7">http://bit.ly/1JCcia7</a>, began to examine and question the then commonly accepted beliefs of the physical and metaphysical world. It was Sir Isaac Newton's (1642-1726/7?) conception of the Universe based upon natural and rationally understandable laws that became one of the seeds for Enlightenment ideology. John Locke and Voltaire were amongst the Men of Letters/Philosophes during the Enlightenment who were inspired by Newton, and Newton's ability to describe the physical world in rational and mathematical terms. In this “Intellectual stew” of The Enlightenment, the Concepts of Natural Law, Unalienable Natural Rights, The Social Contract and Consent of the Governed were studied and reduced to writing. (The Men of Letters/Philosophes of The Enlightenment were quick to point out that Natural Law and Natural Rights had always existed, and they were merely reducing to writing that which always existed.)</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">John Locke (1632-1704) both originated Natural Law concepts, as well as merged, collated and integrated the original thoughts of others, in compiling his Two Treatises of Civil Government(1689). Locke's assessment of man in the Natural State varied from Hobbes'. Locke characterized man in the Natural State as “a social animal having a tendency towards reason and tolerance, but who can be selfish.” In discussing the Social Contract, Locke asserted that that Nature of Man in the Natural State must be considered in constructing government. Locke’s First Treatise on Civil Government was essentially a repudiation of attempts at rationalizing and justifying the Rule by Kings with the concept of the Divine Rights of Kings. Locke’s Second Treatise of Civil Government went on to reduce to writing the concepts of Natural Law, Natural Rights, The Social Contract and Consent of the Governed.

<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">Great social turmoil arose when the metaphysics supporting Governance under the “Divine Right of Kings” could not be reconciled with new ideas, beliefs and metaphysical concepts which were evolving during “The Enlightenment”. The Kings underestimated the resolve of the masses to have their Unalienable Natural Rights recognized and acknowledged by their Kings. Among the Natural Rights the masses clamored for were Free Speech, Freedom of Religion, Freedom of the Press, Due Process, Free Travel, Self-Ownership, Self –Determination and Private Property Rights, etc. Quite simply, most Kings insisted on continuing to rule in the same old manner, and with the same power and control, as before. This great metaphysical social upheaval could only be resolved either by compromise or violent revolution.</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">As England's upper class became more educated, they were amongst the first to ask questions like, “Why is the King the King?” and “Why can't the King's decisions be challenged?” This resulted in the first fracture in the Governance Doctrine of the Divine Right of Kings; the English Revolution of 1688. England's “Revolution of 1688” gave a very few, but important, basic Rights to the English masses (on paper). However, England's Revolution of 1688 was mostly about dividing the power, control and wealth the King held under “Divine Right of Kings” amongst more people. Those additional people being the Members in Parliament(MPs). While the English herald the Revolution of 1688 as the demise of the Governance Doctrine of the “Divine Right of Kings”, in practice it was not.</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">The “Divine Right of Kings” continued all over Europe for a hundred and/or more years. In England they simply began calling it “Indefeasible Hereditary Right” to reflect this new, shared power arrangement of the King with Members of Parliament. So we see that just as with the Magna Carta, the major benefit Revolution of 1688 didn't accrue to the masses but to a relatively few aristocrats. The overwhelming majority of rank and file English folks remained subjects with very few legal rights. Circa 70 years after the English Revolution of 1688, what the American Colonists were experiencing makes it clear that even the limited the reforms for the masses the English had reduced to writing did not match the reality; King George and the Parliament had continued to practice the Governance Doctrine of the “Divine Right of Kings”.</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">As time passed, the rank and file subjects of the British Empire also became more educated and were exposed to the ideas of The Enlightenment. The masses also would also begin to Establish Truth for themselves. And the rank and file subjects of the British empire would come to ask the same questions England's upper classes did just before the English Revolution of 1688: “Why is the King the King?” and “Why can't the decisions of the King and Parliament be challenged?” Once again, the new ideas, beliefs and metaphysical concepts of The Enlightenment caused great social turmoil. Once more, the persons with power were reluctant to surrender any of it. And once again, this great metaphysical social upheaval could only be resolved by compromise and/or violent revolution.</font></font></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0.09in; margin-bottom: 0.09in; line-height: 100%;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="4">In essence, the American Revolution was a “Metaphysical Revolution”, reflecting the change in the way the masses viewed their relationships with their Government. The American Colonists formalized their Revolution with the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Violent Metaphysical Revolution, spurred by similar metaphysical social upheaval, followed in France in 1789, with the storming of the Bastille. Other European Governments resolved the situation with a combination of negotiation, recognition and accommodation (often in the face of violence by the masses) of the new ideas and metaphysical context spawned by The Enlightenment.</font></font></p>

Again, both “The Social Contract” and “Consent of the Governed” are concepts derived from Natural Law and Natural Rights.

The metaphysical beliefs of our Founders can best be summed up as, “Natural Law”. Maximum liberty of the Individual was the priority of the day. Self-Ownership, Self-Determination, Self-Preservation and Self-Sufficiency were the celebrated ideals of the day. The American Colonists rejoiced in their new found freedom which had resulted from casting off the tyrannical metaphysical basis of the Divine Right of Kings.(This seems like an opportune time to advise the reader, that while the Founder’s and Framer’s of the Constitution were overwhelmingly Christian people, in the interest of Religious Freedom which WE THE PEOPLE hold so dear, our preference is to allow the individual to</font></font></font></p>

The Federalists opposed including a Bill of Rights while the Anti-Federalist demanded it as further protection of the masses from the power of a centralized government. Some of the Founders and Framers insisted a Bill of Rights was necessary to guarantee our Natural Rights. While other Founders and Framers argued that the metaphysical context of Natural Law and Natural Rights were so well known and understood by all, there was no need for the Bill of Rights. Other Founders and Framers were concerned that if only some Natural Rights were listed, persons in the future would deem those Unalienable Natural Rights not listed in the Bill of Rights, as not existing. The Anti-Federalist essentially forced the inclusion of a Bill of Rights as a condition to them agreeing to ratify the Constitution. A Bill of Rights comprised of 12 proposed Amendments to the Constitution was submitted to the States, 10 of which were soon ratified by the States(One of the originally proposed Bill of Rights was ratified more than 200 years later.)</font></font></font></p>

The issues of slavery and race must be addressed here and now, because they have so very often been used by our current Oppressor Government and the Tyrant Class to divide and conquer the American masses. If we do not address those issues here and now, our Government and the Tyrant Class will use them derail the goals of our Second Declaration of Causes. (And even though we do address them, our Government and the Tyrant Class will likely still try to use these issues to derail our present efforts to restore our liberty and curtail their power.)</font></font></font></p>

Modern Racism is an artificial construct promoted by our Government and the Tyrant Class as a means to divide and conquer the masses. When WE THE PEOPLE are fighting amongst ourselves, we cannot unite against our government and Tyrant Class and hold them accountable. And while we are so distracted by fighting amongst ourselves, the Government and Tyrant Class are expanding their power and robbing the masses blind. No matter how personally vested in racism you are, your every act and expression of racism further divides and weakens WE THE PEOPLE. In so doing, you further enslave not only yourself and your children, but every one of your fellow citizens, to our government and the Tyrant Class. Think about it; “Is your own racism so important to you that you are willing to allow the government and Tyrant Class dupe you, your children and future generations of Americans into further loss of your own liberties and property?”</font></font></font></p>

It became apparent to this writer that the Main Stream Media was trying to use this event to discredit a candidate for Minnesota <a href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/supreme-court" class="inline_link omniture-click-processed">Supreme Court</a> <a href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/justice" class="inline_link omniture-click-processed">Justice</a>. The Main Stream Media would have rank and file Minnesotans believe that this particular Republican Party Endorsed candidate for the Minnesota Supreme Court was being banned from the Republican Booth for legitimate reasons. And the police were called. Later that night, this writer got an email from a supporter of this candidate, dejectedly asking, "Can this really be happening?" And now, this writer is going to tell you the rest of the story.</p>
<p>Rank and file Americans across this country have been talking about taking back the country and restoring the Constitution. At the same time, conservatives across the country have been talking about the need to "take back the Republican Party". For the most part it has been nice rhetoric, but it hasn't happened. We first saw this "war" begin when the National GOP leaders like Progressive RINO House Speaker John Boehner and Progressive RINO Senator Mitch McConnell disrespected the TEA Party last year. Senator McConnell went on further in his own campaign to say the GOP would "crush the TEA Party everywhere".</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://joemiller.us/2014/03/going-crush-everywhere-care-guess-whos-behind-prediction-tea-party-midterm-elections/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">McConnell Wants No Nominees From #TeaParty: #GOP #Establishment “Going to Crush Them Everywhere”</a></li>
</ul>
<p>With the Progressive RINO Republican establishment pulling out all the stops in Mississippi to make sure a TEA Party upstart didn't win the primary, we know taking back the Republican Party in any state, let alone nationally, is going to be a hard, messy and ugly mission.</p>
<ul>

</ul>
<p>The irony is that everything TEA Party wants and stands for is already in GOP Platform. The GOP platform is the collaborative compilation of the rank and file membership. Ergo, the Progressive RINO Leadership of the National GOP really is at war with all rank and file Republicans, not just the subset known as the TEA Party.</p>
<p>Conservative Politics in Minnesota mirrors, to a large degree, the rift across the country between the rank and file Republican membership and the Republican Establishment. The Republican Establishment wants to follow a Progressive Agenda, while rank and file conservatives want the Republican Establishment to adhere to the Republican Platform.</p>
<p>Fellow Minnesotans, long before the rift between the Republican Establishment and rank and file conservatives appeared on the national stage last year, it was painfully obvious here in Minnesota. And this internal war raging in MNGOP has raged at least since 2005. Long before others.....</p>

<p>In Closing:</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thank you, my fellow citizens, for taking your valuable time to read and reflect upon what is written here.</p>
<p>If what is written here rings true to you, perhaps you should contact your local elected officials and let them know. If you are afraid of repercussions, snail mail it anonymously and ask them to respond in the local paper or their own monthly/quarterly internet newsletter. Even if this article refers to something outside you geographic area, it still likely applies to your location. Remember all those taxpayer training junkets we taxpayers send the bureaucrats on? They all learn the same “livestock management” techniques to use on WE THE PEOPLE.</p>
<p>And that leaves WE THE PEOPLE with this conundrum: While our #Government works full time with compensation and funded with our money for the cause of #Tyranny; WE THE PEOPLE are forced to work part time without compensation for the cause of #liberty with what is left over of our time, money and energy.</p>
<p>Finally, this article is written with the same intentions as Thomas Paine <a href="http://ushistory.org/paine" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://ushistory.org/paine</a>. I, Don Mashak, seek no leadership role. I, Don Mashak, seek only to help the American People find their own way using their own “Common Sense” <a href="http://amzn.to/kbRuar" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://amzn.to/kbRuar</a></p>
